Website Update

At last I've gotten around to updating my main site at proposalwriter.com. All of the updates are shown on my What's New Page. But sadly, I've come to the realization that I can't continue to update my Searchable Database. It is just too time-consuming. Not only that, but I am very unhappy with it. The database is hosted on a portal that is outside my main site. When I set it up several years ago, it worked well. But then the portal people got into some kind of trouble with the search engines, and my pages can no longer be found in them.

The portal people also added outside search results to my own search results, making it all the more difficult for people to discern which are my results and which aren't. Finally, it is too difficult to make changes on the page templates, which are supplied by the portal. So all the page templates show my old site design. I'm going to leave the database there, since a lot of people use it. If I ever get the time, I'm going to try to set up a new database. But I have no idea when that will be.

C'est la vie.
